breast hair Posted: 04-21-08 21:53pm


I am 30 years old and several years back I started to grow hair on my breast. Is this normal? And, if not what can I do to get rid of it?

Most women have hair on their breasts. How thick is the hair? If it is extremely thick, it may be a hormonal deficiency that has developed. If you are worried about this you can see your doctor. If you find the hair unattractive, you can always shave it.

I wouldn't suggest shaving hair on your chest. I have this problem and I wax it. It'll grow back fine and soft, not prickly like if you shave. And it'll take longer to grow back also. You might want to see an endocrinologist to see if you might have PCOS. Which I have the good fortune to have. I can't remember how to spell what it's abbreviated for but a simple google search will tell you.
